The quantity of strawberries retailcd
the past week by Mr.. Chilberg has
amounted To from 800 to 400 pounds
per day, and still he has been unable
to supp ly the demand Of his numerous
customers. VIII We ..dd to this the
SAILS of he many other dealers, it will
be seen that Olympia fairly revels in
Strawberries and cream"
Mr.. Cavanaugh, editor OF the Par
tisan, returned last eve hing, from
somewhat prolonged visit to Kansas,
where he has wound up his business
preparatory to making this Territory
his permanent home. Mr. G. seems
to have been rejuvenated by his trip,
and returns in the best of spirits to
enter the lists as a champion of the
lost cause.
A man by the name of Broyles en-
ployed in Allen & Hardness sawmill,
last Saturday, inadvertently sat down
upon a swiftly revolving circular saw.
The man seemed to be hurt by the en-
counter, for he is said to have jumped
upward nearly ten feet, while the re-
mOrseless saw revOlved on uninjured
and apparently gnashing its ensan-
guined teeth for more.
When the finishing touches are given
to the Columbia street extension the
usefulness Of that thoroughfare will be
materially enhanced. The east side of
the block between Second and Third
is now available for business purposes,
and will doubtless be brought into re-
QUESTION for the smaller trades at no
distant day. A new sidewalk will
soon be built the whole distance.
At the last regular meeting of the
George H. Thomas Post, No. 5, G. A. R..
a resolution Was passed rendering the
thanks of the members to Rev. X. H.
Massey, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, for his very able and patriotic
address, and also to the ladies Of Olym
pia for their Jealous cooperation in sup
plying flowers to decorate the gray es
OF our dead but not forgotten soldiers.
The music of the hammer, saw and
trowel is borne to the ears from all
sides, indicating the thrift pre-
vailing in community that is making
steady progress without the systematic
effort employed further down the
Sound for originating booms. 1t is a
permanent growth, q safe investment
of means in realities that do not de-
pend upon high-pressure methods to
keep them up.
The caterpillar pest has appeared
with unusual virulence this season.
This is undoubtedly the result of neg
lect in times past, and q war of exter-
nation must be no longer delayed, if
We would save our valuable trees from
ruin. An ordinance relating to this
subject is published in this issue for in
formation, with the assurance that it
will be enforced. Our people are be-
ginning to realize that forbearance on
this matter has ceased to be q virtue.
Mr.. Charles r. Talcott, OF this city,
was married, ON Tuesday, the 2lst inst :,
to Miss Alice Fay, an estimable young
lady of Fayette, w. T., the ceremony
being performed by Rev. William Clyde.
Mr.. Talcott has been, for term of
years, one of the leading business men
of Olympia, and we congratulate him
now on having taken an upward and
onward step in the right direction. OF
course he will continue his residence
here. and so Olympia will have gained
another family.
Harry G. Barley and Burt G.
Thompson, the two sweet-scented
youths who started candy store in
this place three months ago, have
failed for the full amount which con-
fiding friends advanced. to set them up
in business, besides leaving various
other bills unpaid. It seems that their
money was squandered in riotous liv-
ing, without any apparent thought of
the obligations which honesty, to say
nothing Of gratitude, impose. The end
of . career begun under such circum-
stances usually closes on the gallows
or behind prison-bars.
Sunday evening, as Miss Spurlock
and VIM. Finley were returning from
AcuIuO W AONAy PI"IlC, III gig

in the wheel, which frightened the
mule and caused him to run. Miss s.
jumped from the vehicle, and broke
her left leg, few inches above the an
kle-joint aud seriously injured her
right knee-joint. The broken limb
was reset by DR.. Riley, and the patient
is in fair way Of speedy recovery.
A small building, near the depot, &C.
cupied as residence by Mr.. Hanna
ford, an employee OF the Olympia 4
Chehalis Valley Railroad, was de-
stroyed by fire, Tuesday evening, about
seven O'Clock. At one time the depot
building was menaced, but by the
prompt and energetic efforts Of Mr..
Buchanan and others, the flames were
kept under subjection until Columbia
and Olympia engines appeared ON the
ground and soon drenched the prem
Uses. Mr.. Hannaford saved most of
his household effects, but the build
